Jacob deGrom took out a full-page ad to give Mets fans the sweet goodbye they were looking for

Things have been quiet on the Jacob deGrom front since we found out he was signing with the Rangers a couple of weeks ago.

deGrom had been with the Mets organization for 12 years. He’s played in the big leagues for 8 of those years. The two sides have been through thick and thin together. Through that time, deGrom became one of the best pitchers to ever pick up a baseball.

So, naturally, it felt a bit weird that there was no reflection from deGrom on his time with the Mets with the fans. Up until now, that is.

deGrom took out a full-page ad in the New York Post to thank Mets fans for their time and appreciation. It was actually pretty nice.

“My family and I are forever grateful to the Mets for an incredible last 12 years and, most importantly, for believing in me. For giving me the opporutnity to play the game I love at the highest level for all these years…To the New York Mets fans — your passion, devotion and unwavering support for me, from the very beginning, has been incredible. It is humbling and apprecaited beyond words.”

Fans had been looking for something like this from deGrom for weeks now. They’re happy now that they’ve gotten it.
